A public/private stakeholders group convened by City of Philadelphia representatives charged with moving forward good government initiatives is hosting a day-long forum to develop action for the future.

It’s “a forum to discover what the City of Philadelphia and its citizens are doing at the intersection of civic innovation/participation and technology,” said Jeff Friedman, the Manager of Civic Innovation and Participation in the Mayor’s office and a original organizer of the OpenAccessPhilly group. “And how we can all continue to translate both our personal and professional passions, connections and projects into public service for the benefit of the entire city.”
